Chapter 7 -- Stocks and Stock Valuation
Characteristics of common stock The market price vs. intrinsic value Stock market reporting Stock valuation models Valuing a corporation Preferred stock The efficient market hypothesis (EMH)
Characteristics of common stock Ownership in a corporation: control of the firm
Claim on income: residual claim on income Claim on assets: residual claim on assets
Commonly used terms: voting rights, proxy, proxy fight, takeover, preemptive rights, classified stock, and limited liability
The market price vs. intrinsic value Intrinsic value is an estimate of a stock's "fair" value (how much a stock should be worth)
Market price is the actual price of a stock, which is determined by the demand and supply of the stock in the market
Figure 7-1: Determinants of Intrinsic Values and Market Prices
Intrinsic value is supposed to be estimated using the "true" or accurate risk and return data. However, since sometimes the "true" or accurate data is not directly observable, the intrinsic value cannot be measured precisely.
Market value is based on perceived risk and return data. Since the perceived risk and return may not be equal to the "true" risk and return, the market value can be mispriced as well.
Stock in equilibrium: when a stock's market price is equal to its intrinsic value the stock is in equilibrium
Stock market in equilibrium: when all the stocks in the market are in equilibrium (i.e. for each stock in the market, the market price is equal to its intrinsic value) then the market is in equilibrium

Figure 7-2: Stock Quote and Other Data for GE
Stock Symbol (GE) Prev close: closing price on Feb. 13, 2009 was $11.68 Change: change from the last trading price and the previous day closing price is -$0.24 = $11.68 - $11.44 Volume: trading volume for the day is 85,594,997 shares Avg Vol (3m): average daily trading volume over the past 3 months is 119,828,000 shares 52 wk Range: range of the highest and lowest prices for GE in the past 52 weeks ($10.66 - $38.52) Day's Range: range of the highest and lowest prices for GE for the day ($11.35 - $11.74) Div & Yield: annual dividend and dividend yield ($1.24 is the annual dividend, or $0.31 per share last quarter) and dividend yield is 10.80% (1.24/11.44 = 10.80%) P/E (ttm): price to earnings (in the past 12 months) ratio is 6.66 (11.44/1.72)
Common stock valuation Stock price vs. intrinsic value: a revisit
Growth rate g: expected rate of growth in dividends g = ROE * retention ratio Retention ratio = 1 - dividend payout ratio The growth rate (g) plays an important role in stock valuation
The general dividend

model:

P 0
t 1
Dt (1 rs )t
Rationale: estimate the intrinsic value for the stock and compare it with the market price to determine if the stock in the market is over-priced or under-priced
(1) Zero growth model (the dividend growth rate, g = 0)
It is
a
perpetuity
model:
^
P0
D rs
^
For example, if D = $2.00 and rs = 10%, then P0 $20
If the market price (P0) is $22, what should you do?
You should not buy it because the stock is over-priced

(2) Constant growth model (the dividend growth rate, g = constant)
^
P0
D1 rs g
D0 * (1 rs g

For
example,
if
D0
=
$2.00,
g
=
5%,
rs
=
10%,
then
^
P 0
2 * (1 5%) 0.10 0.05
$42
If the market price (P0) is $40, what should you do? You should buy it because the stock is under-priced
Common stock valuation: estimate the expected rate of return given the market price for a constant growth stock
Expected return = expected dividend yield + expected capital gains yield

where 5.25% is the expected dividend yield and 5% is the expected capital
gains yield (stock price will increase by 5% per year)
What would be the expected dividend yield and capital gains yield under the zero growth model?
Expected capital gains yield, g = 0 (price will remain constant)
Expected dividend yield = D/P0
(3) Non-constant growth model: part of the firm's cycle in which it grows much faster for the first N years and gradually return to a constant growth rate
Apply the constant growth model at the end of year N and then discount all expected future cash flows to the present
D0 D1 D2 ... DN DN+1 0 1 2 ... N N+1 ...

Valuing a corporation It is similar to valuing a stock (using expected FCF instead of expected dividends)
V = present value of expected future free cash flows
FCF = EBIT*(1-T) + depreciation and amortization ? (capital expenditures + in net working capital) The discount rate should be the WACC (weighted average cost of capital)
Preferred stock A hybrid security because it has both common stock and bond features
Claim on assets and income: has priority over common stocks but after bonds
Cumulative feature: all past unpaid dividends should be paid before any dividend can be paid to common stock shareholders
Valuation of preferred stock
Intrinsic value = Vp = Dp / rp
and
Expected
return

DP PP
Example: if a preferred stock pays $2 per share annual dividend and has a
required rate of return of 10%, then the fair value of the stock should be $20
The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) Efficient market: prices of securities in the market should fully and quickly reflect all available information, which means that market prices should be close to intrinsic values (market in equilibrium)
Levels of market efficiency Weak-form efficiency - stock prices already reflect all information contained in the history of past price movements (only past trading information, including past prices, volumes, and returns)
Semistrong-form efficiency - stock prices already reflect all publicly available information in the market (only past publicly available information)
Strong-form efficiency - stock prices already reflect all available information in the market, including inside information (all publicly and privately available information)
39
Where is the market today? Less efficient Small firms with less coverage and contact
More efficient Large firms with more coverage and contact
Exercises Read Summary ST-1 and ST-2 Problems: 3, 5, 9, 11, and 17
Example: investors expect a company to announce a 10% increase in earnings;
instead, the company announces a 3% increase. If the market is semi-strong form
efficient, which of the following would you expect to happen?
(b)
a. The stock's price will increase slightly because the company had a slight increase in earnings.
b. The stock's price will fall because the increase in earnings was less than expected.
c. The stock's price will stay the same because earnings announcements have no effect if the market is semi-strong form efficient.
Problem 7: given D1 = $2.00, beta = 0.9, risk-free rate = 5.6%, market risk premium = 6%, current stock price = $25, and the market is in equilibrium
^
Question: what should be the stock price in 3 years ( P3 )?
Answer: required return = expected return = 5.6% + 6%*0.9 = 11%
Expected dividend yield = D1/P0 = 2/25 = 8%
Expected capital gains yield = g = 11% - 8% = 3%
